Vocalist Adam White reflected on the decision to reissue the records and play some reunion shows.

One night while sitting shotgun in our van drunk on the way home from a Reason show, Cubby, Ronson and myself put in The Same Three Chords for the first time in probably five years.

We laughed, sang along, and remembered all the good times that came along with being a part of SWN. We decided that the next time The Reason was on any sort of break, we were gonna do it. A proper reunion. I feel now that it wasn't fair how we just sort of "peaced out" back in '02, with no warning, no final shows, just nothing. The purpose of these reunion shows is most definitely to party, have fun, soak up a little nostalgia, and give Sewing With Nancie the proper funeral it deserves, with the final show and final song being played where it all began: Windsor, Ontario. To commemorate this whole thing, our buddies at Juicebox and myself have decided to release 38 SWN songs on Juicebox Recording Co. so anyone that wants to remember SWN can download the "discography" and hold on to these songs for as long as you like.

my roommate saw it sunday night. he was it was merely "alright". i think he sorta spent his "prank" capital with borat, because now everyone recognizes him, and it's getting harder for him to set up prank interviews, etc.

i heard a fair amount of the bits were staged as well.

he's still a great character actor, saw him in sweeney todd. but i think his Ali G near-anonymity days are over.

i think you underestimate how big borat's gotten in the US. i guess he's thinking about doing another borat movie, but it'll be an actual movie this time, with less "documentary" stuff. my guess is it will suck terribly.

I found out about Sewing with Nancie through the old message board for Fenix TX probably around 2000. I still play "The Same Three Chords" on a fairly consistent basis. I remember writing to the band asking for the record because they never really toured the states and getting a hand written message back from the bass player explaining that becaue of legal trouble he couldn't get into the US which stopped them from playing. I might pick this up but I think I have most of the music as it is...
